Cast Glass Japanese JoineryAs a woodworker and a digital fabricator, I was excited to combine these passions with my love for glass. This Japanese wooden joint (the Nejire-kumi-tsguite) was 3D printed and then cast in glass. The physical glass piece is a functioning, mobile joint. I wanted to create this piece in a transparent material to show the intersection of beauty and functionality in this traditional woodworking technique.
